The New Rainier Vista Family Support Group invites all community members to a discussion on “How to talk with NRV community kids when there’s an issue.” This event will be on Friday, May 01, 2009, 6:00pm – 7:30pm, at the Neighborhood House Paul Allen Room.

The discussion will include:

• Panel comments from different ethnic/linguistic groups – Ethiopian (Oromo and Amhara); Somali; Vietnamese; Chinese and mainstream American
• Ways to communicate with kids from different cultures
• Ideas and understandings of what each culture expects when a child or adolescent misbehaves
• Ways to compliment kids from different ethnic backgrounds when you see and appreciate positive behavior

All community members are welcome! Some activities for children will be available. If your child comes with you, please bring a favorite quiet activity (e.g. a book) for your child.

For more information please contact Naomi Chang, Community Builder at 722-4010 ext. 2, or email “nchang (at) seattlehousing (dot) org“.
